Author Topic:   Santiago and her Ways...

I was wondering if any of you have suffered the problems I have with Santiago; it seems that no matter what, she refuses to ally with me. I am the superpower, with her in 2nd/3rd and she is obstinate whenever I speak Pact, yet never declares Vendetta. Does anyone have know how I can get her to ally??

I heard that one of the parameters of the AI is that nr 1 has a tendency to be hostile towards nr 2 (and reverse). Thats what making her obstinate.

santiago is set for Erratic behavior i think??? it may be aggressive, i can't remember. Here is how the "who wants to kick your arse" chart works
1 and 2 hate each other (most of the time)
all the others try to ally with 1 r 2, and do 1 r 2's dirty work most of the time
If you want to make santiago's behavior more predictable, go into the Spartans.txt file... Change this line:
Spartan Federation, The Survivalist, Spartans, M, 2, Santiago, F, 0, 1, 1, 0, 0,
-to either this (for nice):
Spartan Federation, The Survivalist, Spartans, M, 2, Santiago, F, 1, 1, 1, 0, 0,
-or to this (for mean):
Spartan Federation, The Survivalist, Spartans, M, 2, Santiago, F, -1, 1, 1, 0, 0,
So unless you make her nice in the Spartans.txt, she will more than likely not ally with you if she is in second place, r even close to second... also see who her allies are... If you are at war with them, the AI generally will try to avoid anything more than friendship, so it can stay out of the fight as long as possible.

Choose Power in the social engineering table. She'll love you for it.
